The hospital is open to anyone who has Covid-19, and treatment is free By Ananya Tiwari The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel COVID Hospital, a temporary 1,000-bed medical centre spread over 25,000 sq metres of Indian Air Force land on Ulan Batar Marg near Delhi airport’s domestic terminal T1, opened its doors to patients on Thursday (July 9) evening. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has built the facility – which was formally inaugurated on July 5 – from scratch in just 12 days. Also involved in building the hospital were the Union Home and Health Ministries, and Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group. Funding has come from a clutch of companies as well as DRDO employees, who contributed a day’s salary, the Home Ministry has said in a release. A total 146 doctors will be working at the The hospital’s 250 ICU beds will boost Delhi’s ICU bed hospital. (Express Photo: Tashi Tobgyal) capacity by 11 per cent. On the day of the inauguration, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said, “For now, there is no scarcity of hospital beds, we have over 15,000 beds out of which 5,300 are occupied. There is a paucity of ICU beds. If there is any spike in Covid cases, these ICU beds will be extremely critical for us.” Who can be admitted to the hospital? Anyone can. “We are open to any Covid-19 positive patient, as long as they have a test report. The patients can be referred by the district administration. But they can also arrive at the facility on their own, as long as they have a test report.” Major General S S Bhatia, Additional DG, Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS), said. No patients had, however, been admitted to the hospital until Friday. What will it cost to receive treatment at the hospital? All medical treatment at the hospital will be free for patients. How many medical personnel will be working at the hospital? A total 146 doctors will be working at the hospital. They will be from the Directorate General Armed Forces Medical Services (DGAFMS) as well as from the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune. There will be approximately 50 nursing staff, also from AFMC, and paramedical and support staff. 1 “They will in all probability work in three shifts,” Maj Gen Bhatia said. “There is a well-defined area in the premises where they will be doffing and donning the PPE, as well as separate dining and accommodation areas for on-duty staff.” Can a patient get a RT-PCR test in the facility? “Yes, they can,” Maj Gen Bhatia said. “We will collect the samples of the patient and send it to the Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences, which will conduct the test. The result will be given in a few hours’ time,” he said. The tests, like the treatment, will be free. Is the facility attached to a referral hospital? Since any patient can arrive at the hospital for treatment, provided they are Covid-19 patients, there is no referral hospital connected with the facility. “If, however, any patient who is admitted needs special, advanced treatment, such as dialysis, they will be referred to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences,” Maj Gen Bhatia said. Who designed and built the hospital? The design and planning of the facility was done by DRDO in consultation with the DGAFMS. This took three days, after which work on building the hospital began on June 24. The hospital is a temporary structure, which has 4 main hangars with 250 beds each. One hangar is reserved for the ICU – it is named Shaheed Col. B Santosh Babu ICU Ward after the Army officer who lost his life along with 19 others in the clash with Chinese soldiers in Galwan, Ladakh. The ICU has 250 ventilator beds. Each of the wards are connected via an internal concrete pathway. The other general wards are named after other fallen soldiers – Shaheed Nb Sub Satnam Singh Medical Ward, Shaheed Nb Sub Nuduram Soren and Shaheed Nb Sub Mandeep Singh Medical Ward. There are two toilet blocks, with one toilet and one bathroom unit for every nine patients. There is a separate Doctors’ Block, and a hangar to accommodate on-duty medical staff. There is a reception and triage area where patients will be received. There is also a morgue with a capacity of 10 bodies. Dr K Radhakrishnan, Chief Construction Engineer (R&D), DRDO said, “We asked the DGAFMS, and they said that the fatalities in a hospital with 250 ICU beds will be low. And we will evacuate the dead bodies quickly as well.” What materials were used in the construction? The frames are prefabricated materials made of aluminium alloy, and the sheet is a poly-elastic material, which is fire-resistant. Both have been imported from Germany. Dr Radhakrishnan said, “These structures are already fabricated and readymade, and we need to just bring it and erect it. They are rapidly constructed.” The structure is flexible and can withstand a regular earthquake. The cubicles are made of octanorm partitions, which is a material used for temporary constructions. Does the hospital have any special features? One of the unique features of the hospital is the central air conditioning and internal negative pressure gradient, which ensures that the air is not re-circulated, possibly causing cross-infections, and is not allowed to leave the hangar. There are circular air ducts with holes punctured in them passing through the hangars horizontally, and connected to blowers and ducts outside.
